双频双对电极射频热疗比吸收率及温度场模拟

Simulation of SAR and Temperature Distribution for Tumor RF Thermotherapy with Double-frequencies and Double-plates

针对双频双对电极射频热疗的比吸收率和瞬态温度分布进行了物理、数学建模和数值模拟计算。该模型能真实反映电磁波在生物组织中的衰减。在非稳态温度场模拟中考虑了血液灌流量随温度变化和肿瘤区低血液灌流的特点。对双频双对电极射频热疗电磁能量分布和温度分布的特点、电极位置和电极功率对有效治疗深度的影响作了细致的分析讨论。

The model establishment and numerical simulation of specific absorption rate （SAR） and the unsteady-state temperature distribution for radio frequency （RF） thermotherapy with double-frequencies and double-plates are presented in this paper. The model can correctly reflect the attenuation of electromagnetic wave in the biotissue. The variation of perfusion with temperature and the lower perfusion in tumor tissue are fully considered in the simulation of unsteady-state temperature profiles. Also presented are detailed analyses and discussions on the characteristics of SAR and temperature profiles, and the effects of the plates location and power as well as of the perfusion on the depth of effective treatment.
